These Excellerations Soft Rabbit blocks are somewhat unique. It is an interesting version of the “waffle” blocks with the pieces that look like cartoonish rabbits. All the pieces also have rabbit faces on them, and usual “waffle” pegs are rabbit ears and limbs in this set. Excellerations Soft Rabbit blocks are made from soft plastic, and they have no sharp edges and corners, so they are safe for the small kids to play. The pieces are very big – impossible to swallow and easy to hold. The set also comes in a big storage box, where all the pieces fit neatly.
However, these pieces are not flexible enough to actually bend them for the construction. The pegs of these pieces are very thick, so the number of ways you can contact them to the other pieces is very limited. Also, all the rabbits are the same, which is also somewhat limiting. The number of the pieces – 36 – is very small, compared to many other “waffle” sets.
In general, this set is similar to Danish Plus Plus, which also has pieces of the exact same shape in it. But Plus Plus and similar waffle blocks can connect in more ways and form more complex crafts. Because of this and the size, the Rabbit blocks are better choice for toddlers than for older kids.
